2018 Rookies

[Hai_Newman]

Hi guys. Are there any West Coast supporters out there? I'm considering replacing one of Ryan or Venables up forward for Waterman. Who do you think has the better job security or should I just keep both Ryan and Venables?

Keep

O’Connor is a late change OUT for Geelong

 

[Feerits Elf]

Does anyone know anything about O'Connor from Geelong?

I know he's not playing tomorrow, does that count?

 

[Deliverance]

They consider Gregson best 22 but given his injury history he will be managed. That said if Fogarty can manage 6 tackles a game he covers a weakness for us.

Not sure I see him sticking 6 tackles a game. Sure he's dquiĉk and agile, but only weighs in at about 75 kegs yeah?

 

[projectaero]

Banfield or Brayshaw to start?

Gotta be Brayshaw

Gotta be Brayshaw

In all seriousness. Brayshaw

Whole Man

 

[Red Syrah]

Hunter clark or kelly?
Currently have brayshaw and banfield on field with holman finlayson kelly on bench.

Is clark worth trading out kelly?

 

[Pykie]

Most of the big rookies are looking underwhelming now that the real stuff has started and it’s not just a cake walk in the practice games.

As a side note, Larkey kicked 8 in the VFL today, could be an early downgrade FWD target.

Anyone know anything about Fogarty or Kelly for Geelong?

Anyone know anything about Fogarty or Kelly for Geelong?

Only that 50% of coaches have had Kelly in their sides since 1 second after SC opened

Anyone know anything about Fogarty or Kelly for Geelong?

Kelly: Mature age recruit (23 years old), finished 2nd in Sandover Medal in the WAFL last year. Pretty good balance with his inside & outside game. Won’t play as much inside as he did in the JLT, considering Ablett/ J. Selwood/ Duncan/ Menegola (and Danger when fit) are ahead of him. I expect him to be our Motlop replacement, but a much more contested player than Motlop which brings the tackles & contested possessions. But because of his mature body I expect him to play most games this year if not all of them, probably around the HFF. I expect most of his scores to be between 60-80 SuperCoach points. Locked in at M8 for me.

Fogarty: Will eventually be a midfielder but for now will play a pressure forward role for us. Has a bit of class, good ball user, loves to tackle & pressure which is the main reason he’s gotten his debut. I’m not picking him though, just a bit worried about his job security considering we have Cockatoo to come back in, along with Jones & Miers pushing for a small forward position, plus small forwards don’t always score well of course.

No idea who this guy is but I'm listening to him next week

 

[Asho81]

So Asho81 and Waynesworld aren't the same poster then?

Myth debunked....

No idea who or what you’re talking about mate.

Good rundown, thanks

 

[Jiska]

Davies-Uniack achieved just over 50% of his BE

 

[SC fish]

Fritsch or Ryan on field?

 

[Daniel McL]

Good rundown, thanks

Hope you had Kelly on field! Also Fogarty impressed me a lot, first game and performed better than Murdoch & Gregson so should keep his spot for Round2 definitely.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Davies-Uniack achieved just over 50% of his BE

Was a harsh start for him, I'm reliably informed he was garbage at swimming carnivals.

 

[stevebbb]

Let's see how these West Coast cheapies go
I have none of them, but I got a few rookies I'd like to piss off, so I need some replacement candidates to step up

 

[Stiggly]

Hmm have ryan but last minute indecision to keep or go venables or waterman... not overly concerned if waterman only plays 5 before JK comes back... there’ll be downgrades by then...

 

[Andrewy]

a few here have Cole 50/50 on JS, whereas I think Zuthrie is a lock to play for most of the season. He was very impressive last year and has added 3kg of muscle to his frame. He was in my team for a while and may still make his way in if I need to chuck Coffield in the middle if Barry/Holman don't get named

Great call on Zuthrie TBA...very very nice
